    The EU Referendum Hokey Cokey

    Yes, the engineer said this: If the UK post-Brexit would be an economic paradise, the remainers obviously wouldn't suffer then. But he says that the Remainers suffer because there is no deal. Apparently, the economic promises of Brexit only work with a bit of cherry-picking. I believe a lot of "professional" brexiteers thought they could get some more concessions with their "Don't make me leave you or I'll kill myself" strategy.

    The EU Referendum Hokey Cokey

    The EU is looking for a deal that involves a clear cut, but with as minimal pain for both sides as possible. Theresa May wants a deal in which the UK still keeps all the benefits of EU membership. In the end, she doesn't want that clear cut that the EU has accepted will happen. In a way, the EU understands the Brexiteers better than May, because the Brexiteers wanted to leave, and so they will leave. But maybe the real matter is that many of the Brexit voters were promised that the "all benefits, no costs" deal was possible. They were told that a clear cut was possible without any losses. They were lied to and so the referendum is not a true reflection of the will of the people.

    His pancreatic cancer was high on the search results for a long time, or so it seemed to me. But the AP obit was the question I thought.

    DDP Team Name Rejects

    So wikipedia tells me that Gina Lollobrigida refers to herself in the third person, and again, there is a list of such people: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illeism I think there is a theme team in there "My, Myself and I" or something (almost already exists): Gina Lollobrigida, Bob Dole, Flavor Flav, Pelé...
